Celebrity Relationships March 28, 2008
As with most things in the media spot light, what you see isn’t always what you get. Case in point, the “celebrity relationship.” Just like girls shouldn’t starve themselves to look like what they see on a magazine cover, every day couples shouldn’t attempt to live life like the kissy face stars that grace the pages of US Weekly. In a world that is based off of glossy ads, one involved in a relationship now would be surprised to find that smiling infamous couples in the photos we see don’t always signify a happy twosome. I guess what I’m trying to get at is, even if he can’t buy you a new penthouse for your birthday, or if she can’t get you those season tickets to your favorite sports team, you might just be surprised to find that you are a lot happier than they are. The grass isn’t always greener. Take a look…
Chace Crawford and Carrie Underwood: After a whirlwind of a courtship the two who just got together this past July, recently had their reps announce their “amicable” break-up. I guess she couldn’t sing her way into his heart.
Robin Williams and wife Marsha Garces: This one kinda tugs on your heart a little bit, and just goes to show you that even marriages that were once thought to go the whole 9 yards can’t even make it in the “biz”. Married in 1989, after 19 years of marriage the two filed for divorce.
Reese and Ryan: After being an item for nearly a decade, the two decided to formally separate in October of 2006. Later after filing “irreconcilable differences” they were divorced. This one was sad, the couple who always seemed like the anti-Hollywood pair couldn’ t even handle the pressures of the spotlight. Rumors formulated on magazine pages and on entertainment television of extra marital affairs, nothing was ever confirmed.
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey: I think we all pretty much watched this couple unfold on MTV’s “ The Newlyweds.” A cute sitcom that broke down he daily grind of this pop couple. This sad break-up came at the end of 2005 to the shock of all those that had grown to love them.
Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams: This is just sad. Approximitly 4 months prior to Ledger’s tragic death the two split up. After the news of his death, Michelle released a statement stating, ” I have lost my soul mate.” Rumors circulated after the stars death that the two would have definatly rekindled their romance had he had been given more time.
Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora: This “Jersey boy” did his wife of over 10 years, Heather Locklear wrong. After citing “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for their split, Sambora started dating his ex-wife’s best friend, fellow actress, and fellow Hollywood divorcee, Denise Richards. That’s just wrong.
I am not trying to beat this sore subject over the head, but I believe that our society as a whole is starting to think that the way celebrities handle their relationships and live their lives is the social norm. The truth of the matter is that it couldn’t be further from the truth. They might be normal human beings in their private lives but their lifestyles are anything but normal.
Enjoy the relationship that you are in and never base what you have on what you see on the TV. Like I stated earlier, the grass isn’t always greener 
Till next time…
